A security source confirmed the
attack saying it happened around 5:30am.

Those who sustained injuries in
the incident have been taken to the hospital while security operatives have
cordoned off the scene of the attack.

Boko Haram has continued to hit
soft targets in its violent campaign. Efforts of government to put the sect in
check has not yielded the desired result.

Last week, the military arrested
one Abubakar Kori who reportedly confessed facilitating suicide bombing
activities of the sect.

He said he was paid not less than
N5,000 for each suicide bomb attack carried out in Maiduguri.

“My role is to keep the
Improvised Explosive Device (IEDs) for onward delivery to another person who
will carry out the attack,” NAN quoted him to have said.

“On different occasions, two of
my acquaintances gave a parcel to keep for somebody, who will come and take it.

“I normally kept the parcel in my
duty post; the appointed person would come and picked it; after successful
delivery, they paid me N5,000.

“We reside in the same
neighborhood in Maiduguri; they always told me that the parcel was given to them
by one Ba’Adam, and asked me to keep it. They introduced me to Ba’Adam, who is
the mastermind of the attacks.”
